What is the best prop firm?

There is no single best prop firm. The right one depends on your market, style and budget. Compare price, profit targets, drawdown type and trading rules side by side, then pick the challenge that fits how you actually trade.

What is the difference between a 1-step and a 2-step challenge?

A 1-step challenge has a single evaluation phase, usually with a higher profit target or tighter drawdown. A 2-step challenge splits the evaluation into two phases with lower targets each, and is often cheaper for the same account size.

Which prop firms are best for scalping?

Look for challenges where scalping is marked as allowed, with no minimum trade duration and no strict consistency rule. Use the scalping guide to filter challenges by these rules.

What is instant funding?

Instant funding accounts skip the evaluation: you pay once and trade a funded account straight away. They usually cost more, have tighter drawdown and a lower starting profit split.

Can US traders join prop firms?

Some firms accept US residents and others don't, and this changes often, especially for forex firms. Futures firms are generally more accessible to US traders. Always check the firm's official terms before buying.

How do PropDiff rankings work?

Rankings and filters are based only on the stored challenge data: price, rules, targets, drawdown and payouts. Affiliate relationships never affect how challenges are ranked or filtered.
